  • I've played with model rockets since I was a little kid, but In this video, I make my own model rocket and rocket engines out of sugar and potassium nitrate. By using this model rocket hopefully, we can understand how even the biggest rockets work.
    Thank you so much for watching this video! If you would like to suggest a video idea please leave it in the comments, and if you enjoyed please like and subscribe! It was my pleasure to add a bit of science to your day!

    Thanks for making the video. I remember building model rockets as a kid, and want to find some for my kids now, but first I want us all to learn the science. We're going to check out your other videos as well on this.

    you're grounded foreeeeeevvvvvvveeeeerrrrrr for lighting that with a fuse ;)

    Back in the day I worked with computers at a solid rocket firm. A big part of what our rocket scientists did was design the nozzle, which improved the thrust of the rocket.

      At that time I would often say, "It doesn't take a rocket scientist to ...." in jest.

      That’s really cool! I would love to have a job like that some day.

    Amazing video, It's interesting to know how these things work!
    And now I want to buy my own model rocket

    Were the motion graphics custom made? The step up in quality is impressive and you continue to be really engaging as a presenter. Good work!

    • @ScienceC

      Thank you! I did make all the graphics myself

    Yeah, I've had some rockets like that: up, then nosedive into the dirt.

    How do the rockets in space manage not to go into an uncontrollable spin. The forces inside the combustion chamber would be pointing in all sorts of directions. I know they use gyros to relay information to the vanes but there is no air for the stabilizer fins to work off of.

    I like that this video came out soon after the news that SpaceX's attempt to destroy one of their older rockets just showed how strong their rockets are. 😛
    As always, very well done video! Do you edit your own videos? If so, you're really good! Also, those are some really nice pants. 👍

      David Phantom I agree

      Did you seriously just make a UA-cam account just because you like Chase's pants?

      David Phantom Are you judging me for being a pair of pants with a youtube channel

    • @David_Phantom
      @David_Phantom 6 років тому

      No. I am not Judging you. Also, seeing how I don't know how to respond properly to that, I'km just gonna go.

    I thought the fire triangle was an outdated representation because it doesn't include uninhibited chemical chain reaction, the fire tetrahedron includes that fourth component. Great video though.

    It'd be cool to know the efficiency of the rockets, like how much of the energy is actually thrust, and which is more efficient

    • @ScienceC
      @ScienceC  6 років тому

      It’s definitely not very efficient. Basically you’re trying to convert the heat of the reaction to trust which isn’t easy. A nozzle would help but that’s another video....

    You keep saying ENGINES, and you should be igniting those electrically, did like your Thrust Curve Explanations.

    I made rockets in tech class too and let me tell you, it's not rocket science
